Ontario PC MPPs again veto lifting keffiyeh ban at Queen’s Park, despite Ford support
April 23, 2024
Several Ontario Progressive Conservative MPPs have again opposed their own Premier and vetoed the lifting of a ban on the keffiyeh at Queen’s Park, leaving a ruling in place that the traditional scarf – long associated with the Palestinian cause – is a political symbol and not allowed.On Tuesday, Opposition NDP Leader Marit Stiles moved a motion – the second attempt in less than a week – saying the scarf is cultural, not political, and seeking the required unanimous consent of MPPs to overturn the decision by Speaker Ted Arnott, which applies not just to MPPs in the chamber but to staffers and visitors in the building’s halls.
Catherine Tait says that while the CBC is working to make itself more efficient and responsive to Canadians, it doesn't have a specific plan to prepare for a future Conservative government possibly terminating its federal subsidy.
